Planned activity for today: Crews are monitoring the fire and scouting out firelines on the northeast side of the fire connecting roads, trails and natural features. As favorable weather allows, firefighters will use a low intensity backing fire to remove fuels from the fire’s edge to the fireline.

Weather Outlook: Gusty ridge winds are possible today which could increase fire behavior. Over the next few days, mild temperatures and drier conditions are predicted. Mid-week a storm system is forecast to come through bringing cooler temperatures.
